Rain does not affect every Seattle ride the same way

Tree cover, trail elevation and recent weather vary across the Puget Sound lowlands and Cascade foothills. Compare the actual network before driving. Destinations east of the Cascades appear separately because they belong to a different trip.

Across the 22 networks Loam tracks here, elevation spans 4,597 feet and canopy runs from 0 to 84 percent. These measurements describe representative network points, not the full elevation range of every trail. Compare the individual forecasts and check local reports before choosing a ride.

Mountain biking around Seattle & Snoqualmie

The useful unit here is the riding zone. Each one has its own exposure, elevation, and weather response.

Issaquah and Snoqualmie

Duthie is a forested bike park on the Sammamish Plateau. Tiger Mountain and Raging River have their own larger trail systems, while Tokul is on working forest land. Check each area's access and trail directions.

535 to 2,385 ft78 to 83% canopy
At Tiger Mountain: Master Link, Inside Passage and Predator. Use the DNR map for trail-specific permitted uses.

Kitsap Peninsula

Banner Forest and 360 Park are on the Kitsap Peninsula. Account for the crossing or drive when comparing them with an Eastside ride.

341 to 433 ft75 to 81% canopy

Snoqualmie Pass and Crystal Mountain

These mountain destinations sit apart from the lowland trail systems. Confirm summer operations, trail openings and any lift or pass requirements directly with the operator.

3,215 to 4,807 ft76 to 77% canopy

Wenatchee and Yakima

These are separate destinations east of the Cascades. They are not Seattle-area trailheads, and a west-side rain forecast does not describe their riding conditions.

1,326 to 3,251 ft0 to 56% canopy

A season by season read

Planning patterns, not opening dates. Live conditions and official access decide the day.

Spring

Lowland trails and higher forest rides can be in different stages of drying or thawing. Watch for soft tread and storm damage.

Summer

Dry stretches can leave loose surfaces even in the forest. Check fire restrictions and mountain bike park operations.

Fall

Rain returns as daylight shortens. Compare the recent rain and current conditions at the trail rather than relying on weather in Seattle.

Winter

Cold pockets, storms and snow can limit higher rides. A lowland forecast does not establish access at Snoqualmie Pass.

Working forests and bike parks have their own rules

Check DNR alerts for Tiger Mountain and Raging River, King County's Duthie information and Evergreen's local trail guide. Forestry operations, trail directions and seasonal park schedules can override a rideable model.

What are these conditions based on?
